Russias most senior military officer said Thursday that Moscow would preemptively strike and destroy U.S.-led NATO missile defense sites in Eastern Europe if talks with Washington about the developing system continue to stall.

A decision to use destructive force preemptively will be taken if the situation worsens, Russian Chief of General Staff Nikolai Makarov said at an international missile defense conference in Moscow attended by senior U.S. and NATO officials.

The threat comes as talks about the missile defense system, which the U.S. and its allies insist is aimed at Iranian missiles, appear to have stalled.

We have not been able to find mutually-acceptable solutions at this point and the situation is practically at a dead end, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said.

Ellen Tauscher, the U.S. special envoy for strategic stability and missile defense, insisted the talks about NATO plans for a missile defense system using ground-based interceptor missiles stationed in Poland, Romania and Turkey were not stalemated.

Russia intends to control oil, gas and much of the economy of Western Europe. Part of the plan is to cut off other suppliers of both oil and gas to Western and Eastern Europe.

Russia (along with China) will extend as much control as possible over Mid East oil and gas, Iran and Syria for now after recently losing (temporarily) Libyan oil. Part of this plan includes making Western Europe defenseless against Iranian missiles, Russians in control of the anti missile systems will get the message across, and Russia has stated they will allow the systems if they are manned by Russian personnel in the control rooms.

What about the spies knowing our codes? How about the Chinese coming near our subs? We are a more open society with known secrets stolen.

And what was that missile off of California?

What about exceptional allowed losses. You know that China wants to decrease its population. There are nutty people in charge of Russia and China. They are both bold lately since Obama has been in charge.

Similar dream, mine involved notification and call to arms based on foot soldiers coming in from medico and amphibious landing craft via radio. The foot soldiers were confiscating vehicles and moving north. First thought was where are our planes? Dreamed same or similar dream two straight days this past week.

Should not be worried anyone. Dream about planes and a 911 style of attack on America took thirty years to come to fruition.

I say the same thing, but if you're Putin, newly back in the saddle after a couple-year break, and you're looking across the Atlantic at a declining America with a candy-assed little muslim socialist in the White House who just begged Medvedev for time until after the November election... you'd make a move, too. These are big and heady times for America's enemies. If they ever wanted to push, now's the time. They know exactly what they're doing when they express support for democrats at election time.

Both Russia and China have several bones to pick with Europe, and up through the Serbian Kosovo war they haven't been able to pick 'em because of US (NATO) backing and influence.

No more. That backing will end or Russia (and China) will extract a steep price from us, and Europe.

If Russia controls European security (and safety from terrorist Muslim states), you will see major Economic cooperation of Western Europe with Russia (and China) and near nil with petro terrorist mid east states and Muslim agitating populations.

From your point of view, Russia is promoting and backing Christianity over Islam, and I'm not sure that is crazy at all.

I am not alarmed by dreams. Sometimes God sends messages in dreams, sometimes it is to prepare us. Worry not ... God's Will ... Will Be Done, and I believe with all my heart and soul God Loves America, or America would never have come to be. Rest easy FRiend. There is a rifle behind every blade of grass in our Nation.

Ellen Tauscher, the U.S. special envoy for strategic stability and missile defense, insisted the talks about NATO plans for a missile defense system using ground-based interceptor missiles stationed in Poland, Romania and Turkey were not stalemated.

She reiterated that the U.S.-built system, still in development, is being designed to shoot down Iranian intermediate-range missiles aimed at Europe, not Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

Do you think they would have threatened a military strike on American and NATO installations if Ronald Reagan were President? Now that we have the panty-waist usurper and his retinue of kiss-asses, we need to get used to being pushed around!
